I got hit behind the ear and i have a bruise that looks like a hickey. hurts to shake my head side to side. should i be worried or is it nothing?

Bone bruise: This sounds like a mild bone bruise that will be tender for several days. I wouldn't worry unless you have worsening headaches, dizziness, drowsines vomiting, or hearing problems.
